Shouldn't the title of the letter, "Faculty Members Support the War in Iraq" printed in the April 4 issue read: "SOME Faculty Members Support the War in Iraq"?
I would like to read a letter in the feedback section from faculty members who do not support the war in Iraq. I will not hold my breath waiting for this letter to be written or published.
I do not support the war in Iraq. Innocent people are dying. The weapons inspectors were making progress. It is important for countries to abide by the decisions of the U.N. Security Council.
I support our troops. I had one brother who was drafted and served in the Vietnam War and another who enlisted into the Navy during the Vietnam War and was stationed on a ship for months near Vietnam. Another brother, who served in the Army during the Vietnam War, later died of terminal cancer that was war-related. I have a sister who served as a first lieutenant in the Air Force and a niece who served in the Air Force. Currently, I have a nephew in the Army and a niece in the Navy. I don't know if my niece has been deployed to Iraq. Also, my 19-year-old son is being recruited into the Army.
